It has certainly been a busy month around the Quilt Castle!  Annie is bored to tears and is anxious for her Dad to come home and take her out to the shop!


Aside from creating a fun Wedding quilt, I also worked on two new quilts for my sweet grand daughters to snuggle up with on those cool winter evenings this winter.

In addition, I have become a Great Aunt (again!).  Time for a quilt!  Sweet Amelia, I am certain, is adorable and the first Grandma is in heaven!  I thought I'd share the flannel I have chosen for this darling little angel.  More to follow!

Happy Quilting!

Hello!

I've been away for awhile! Time has been precious these last few months and between surviving Tax Season, a daughter's graduation and subsequent engagement, in addition to the creation of a new organization, I've completely neglected my quilting facebook friends and my blog.

I'm back, however and want to share with you the blog for Comforting Quilter's. Comforting Quilters was created to create quilts for those needing comfort. We've had a plethora of fundraisers and are currently raffling off a quilt to help raise funds for supplies such as batting and thread.

These quilts are freely given with love and tenderness put into every stitch! We meet every month at the Byron Depot and encourage anyone in the area to visit us! Even if you've never sewed a stitch, we'll find something for you to do!

Visit the blog at http://comfortingquilters.blogspot.com, or come by the Depot on the third Friday from 7 -9 & Saturday from 9 - 3. We'd love to see ya!

History Revisited!

My daughter who lives in Fort Scott, KS sent me this wonderful news piece.  I have provided it below for you to consider in your own community.  What a magical display will this be!  Thanks Jody! 

The Airing of the Quilts

     What a festive sight in historic Fort Scott all of March, recreating a long time tradition bringing winter bedding outside to bask in the sunshine and catch the fresh breezes welcoming springtime to the Prairie. Celebrate Women's History Month with Voices from the Quilts.  Toss quilts over balconies, banisters, fences & clothes lines to tell our story from the Voices from the Quilts!

     The entire month of March centers around the Fort Scott National Historic Site bringing Civil War Quilts and memorabilia for all to appreciate and admire:  "Reflections on the War: Women and their Civil War Quilts"   The Sutler of Fort Scott has contributed authentic Civil War sewing tools and accessories to be on display all month. 

      See  Quilts telling the stories of local families at Lyons Twin Mansions  daily  and free of charge.  Downtown shoppes have their windows and walls full of quilts.  Window shopping is a delightful experience in historic Fort Scott . . just like in the olden days!  Come on downtown and experience the magic!
